Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 979 Ning Daozhen's Purpose
Next, Ningfa and the others returned to the hidden cave in the snow-capped mountain more than a thousand miles away.

Using Ning Daozhen's magical teleportation method once again, they returned to the Wanling Mountains.

As soon as the group flew out of the deep pool, they heard a series of mournful roars from beasts all around them, and the ground even trembled and shook violently.

With just a sweep of their divine senses, the group discovered that within a radius of over a hundred miles, there were already tens of thousands of wild beasts of various shapes and sizes, all of them ferocious and savage, charging from the depths of the mountains.

The once boundless five-colored light curtain has now disappeared.

Clearly, the barrier has been completely destroyed, and now the savage beasts deep within the Wanling Mountains are surging out in a frenzy.

At this moment, an exceptionally powerful divine sense swept over everyone.

Dozens of miles away, a burly cultivator clad in heavy armor, his face even concealed by a mask, was riding atop a giant black tiger with wings on its back, looking in their direction.

The spiritual pressure emanating from this person had clearly reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

The giant black tiger beneath him also possessed a cultivation level approaching the fourth rank.

"Don't worry, he's Zhuo Qing's subordinate."

Ning Daozhen said something, and then took out a strangely shaped black token and waved it gently in that direction.

The man nodded, then waved his right hand lightly, leading the group of savage beasts to fly in another direction.

Ning Daozhen turned to the crowd again: "Come with me, I have prepared a way out."

With that, he took the lead and flew forward, and the others followed.

Before long, they arrived at another hidden cave more than a hundred miles away, where there was also a deep pool.

"Through this mid-grade Blood Spring Teleportation Array, one can be teleported to the Fangkun Mountains, tens of thousands of miles away."

By then, the Tianli people will probably be too busy dealing with the savage beasts in the Wanling Mountains to pursue us.

Ning Daozhen turned to look at everyone and said, then stared intently at Ning Fa, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

Ning Fa looked at him and said calmly, "What you said before was all very vague. I need to understand the whole story clearly."

“Sure, since you’ll be involved in these things anyway, I’ll naturally explain it to you.” Ning Daozhen said without hesitation.

Ningfa nodded, and then the two walked deeper into the cave.

Dan Hongzi thought for a moment and then followed him up.

Xiao Pengyuan and the others glanced at them and then looked away without asking any further questions.

Sang Wen, who had been aloof and even indifferent all this time, had a much softer expression on his face, because this operation deep into Tianli's rear had yielded tremendous results.

It not only broke the restrictions of the Wanling Mountains, but also destroyed the Nine-Part World-Suppressing Tower, a replica of the Tongtian Lingbao (a magical artifact).

This was of great significance to Cang Yuan, and it also greatly reduced her resentment towards Ning Fa, who had played an important role in the matter.

Then she looked at Bai Yueqiu, who was still expressionless and motionless, and a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

Ji Lianxing, on the other hand, looked uneasy and was clearly distracted.

Now that the operation behind enemy lines has ended, according to Shen Xinlan's original plan, they should start taking action against Ning Fa.

Ning Fa already had a countermeasure plan, but Ji Lianxing thought it was too risky.

She wasn't worried about Ning Fa; the key issue was that Ning Fa had placed a restriction on her, and if Ning Fa were to perish, her fate would be obvious.

At this moment, deep inside the cave, Ningfa had already cast a soundproof barrier.

"What exactly is this Yuanhun Dividing Spirit Technique?" Ning Fa asked, staring intently at him and Dan Hongzi.

At this moment, Dan Hongzi stroked his beard with his right hand and slowly said, "Let me explain to Fellow Daoist Ning. Does Fellow Daoist Ning know..."

As Dan Hongzi slowly began to speak, Ning Fa's expression changed, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

After a long while, Dan Hongzi finished speaking. He looked at Ning Fa and said earnestly, "So, Fellow Daoist Ning, you should understand how terrifying that existence is. Helping us is actually helping yourself."

At this moment, Ning Fa was already moved, and his heart was filled with shock.

What Dan Hongzi said was no small matter, and it was also closely related to him.

First and foremost is the Yuanhun Dividing Spirit Technique.

Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi both practiced this technique, and their understanding of it was much deeper than Ning's.

Like Ning Fa, they later discovered the strangeness of this technique.

However, through Dan Hongzi's words, Ning Fa learned that the situation behind it was far more complicated than he had imagined.

It turns out that the Yuanhun Dividing Technique that has been circulating outside was also left behind by an ancient immortal, and he was the most powerful of the more than ten known ancient immortals.

He was also the only ancient immortal to break free from the confinement of the ancient immortal island and leave it.

However, he seemed to disdain the nearby Cangyuan and went directly to Daqin.

It is said that it also stirred up a bloody storm in the Qin and Tianwu realms, and was later annihilated by the combined forces of the two top powers in the cultivation world.

However, the terrifying thing about this ancient immortal is that he is extremely difficult to kill, and the opportunity for resurrection lies in the Yuanhun Dividing Technique that he deliberately spread.

Any cultivator who practices this technique will involuntarily develop a special soul seed within their soul, which may become the vessel for the resurrection of that ancient immortal.

In recent years, both of them, who had cultivated this technique to a high degree, had sensed signs of that terrifying being's resurgence. The soul seeds that had been destroyed in their seas of consciousness were showing signs of rekindling.

This naturally caused them a great deal of frustration, and they have been searching for a solution for years.

After they learned that the Tianli people were using a large amount of innate five elements energy to refine the clan's treasure.

A thought struck them, and they remembered a note left by a senior elder of the Blood Heaven Sect.

This relates to another important matter.

Ning Fa was also familiar with this matter; it was the existence of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, the special secret realm created by the True Spirit Relic.

At that time, it wasn't just the Pavilion Master of Ling Shu Pavilion and Tian Li, the Nascent Soul cultivator, who entered the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool; the Great Elder of the Blood Heaven Sect did the same.

Although this person is not a Nascent Soul cultivator, his strength has reached that of a top-tier cultivator, and he has cultivated extremely powerful bloodline divine abilities.

Faced with the eerie and mysterious Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, he did not dare to enter it personally, but instead used one of his blood avatars to enter it.

However, just half a day later, the Grand Elder who was waiting at the Blood Heaven Sect's mountain gate had already sensed the demise of his clone.

Not only that, the strange power also invaded his body, and he was completely unable to stop it.

On his deathbed, he recorded some key information through his telepathic connection with his clone.

This information is largely the same as what the previous Pavilion Master of Ling Shu Pavilion left behind.

For example, it is said that the place is called Mingyuan Tianchi, and it is also predicted that it will reopen in tens of thousands of years, and the time is now very close.

Hearing this, Ningfa was actually a little surprised.

I don't understand why all these cultivators who entered the Abyss Heavenly Pool have this speculation, and they all seem very certain about it.

Besides this, there is another important piece of information: before his death, the Grand Elder of the Blood Heaven Sect discovered a special place in the Abyss Heavenly Pool.

And that place is inhabited by a very special spiritual entity.

This spiritual object is a fifth-tier Soul-Evolving Divine Spring.

Hearing this name, Ning Fa was even more shocked.

This is because it is a precious divine soul object that only exists in legends, and it has incredible uses for the souls of cultivators.

Legend has it that just one drop can cure a cultivator's spiritual ailments and elevate their soul.

The effect is even comparable to the refinement of the soul during a tribulation, allowing the cultivator's soul to advance to the next realm ahead of time.

It can be said that even among the many fifth-order spiritual objects, the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring is among the most precious.

In the special place of Mingyuan Tianchi, there is a Soul-Deriving Divine Spring, and there are quite a few of them.

Therefore, Ning Daozhen, Dan Hongzi, Xiao Han, and others have all set their sights on the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring.

Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi were especially eager, as they hoped to use the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring to fight against that terrifying being.

They didn't intend to simply consume it; rather, they wanted to use this fifth-tier Soul-Evolving Divine Spring as the main ingredient, and cultivate something called the Primordial Soul True Soul according to a secret method passed down by the Blood Heaven Sect.

This primordial soul and true spirit can be seen as a special kind of divine power of the soul, just like the protective aura of a cultivator, which has an incredible protective effect on the cultivator's soul.

Whether it's resisting attacks on the soul or dealing with inner demons, it has incredible uses.

Moreover, this primordial soul and true spirit can also greatly enhance the cultivator's soul strength, which can be said to be a greater utilization of the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring.

Therefore, Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi believed that as long as they could cultivate this Yuanhun Zhenpo, it would be enough to resist the influence of that terrifying being.

However, entering that special place, the Abyss Heavenly Pool, and obtaining the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring is not so easy, because that place has very strange restrictions.

To break this restriction, one must possess innate Five Elements supernatural powers.

This is why Ning Daozhen and the other two went to such lengths to obtain the innate five elements of Qi that the Tianli people used to refine these nine World-Suppressing Towers.

The goal is to use them to refine a special magical artifact that can unleash the innate five elements supernatural powers.

As the time for the opening of the Abyss Heavenly Pool, as prophesied, draws ever closer, this treasure will allow one to travel to that special place and attempt to obtain the Soul-Evolving Divine Spring.

At this moment, Ning Daozhen stared intently at Ning Fa: "You also happen to possess innate divine lightning, so you can go to that place as well."

We can join forces again; I can even share with you the secret method for cultivating the primordial soul and true essence.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa pondered for a moment.

He's already fallen for her.

In reality, although he had not delved too deeply into the Yuanhun Dividing Spirit Technique, he was clearly still influenced by that terrifying being.

For example, he inexplicably entered the "Lunar Tribulation Burning Passion" stage ahead of schedule.

Ning Fa had only had some doubts before, but now, after hearing what Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi said, the possibility that it was caused by that terrifying being has greatly increased.

Therefore, he also desperately wanted to obtain the Soul-Evolving Divine Spring, even without having to cultivate the Primordial Soul True Soul according to the secret method of the Blood Heaven Sect.

Because the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring is also a top-notch auxiliary spiritual object for cultivating the Heart of the Moon Goddess.

He could even use this to directly cultivate to the second stage of the Moon God's Heart—the Moon Soul Crystal Core.
